The Nerd Alert Movie Club returns with another cult favorite as Brandon, Jimmy, James, and Chase dive into the 1996 pulp adventure classic, The Phantom!

But nearly 30 years later, does The Phantom still hold up?

There was a magical period of time in the 1980s when nobody quite knew what to do with all the television channels. Cable television was still relatively new, desperately trying to justify its existence by filling twenty-four hours a day with...well...whatever they could get their hands on. HBO wasn't yet the prestige powerhouse it would become. MTV actually played music videos. The Disney Channel felt like a secret club. Every channel had to feed the beast, and the beast was always hungry.

Nerd Alert Rewind: Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins. As a kid growing up in the '80s, I swear Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was on HBO every other day. Back then, if a movie aired more than three times on cable, it automatically became a classic. I must have watched Remo leap across rooftops and dodge bullets dozens of times before I was old enough to understand what was actually happening. Rewatching it at 50 is a weirdly wonderful experience.

MAY 2026 One of the best things about being nerdy about something (passionate) is the hope of sharing it with others. Since my own family is sick of hearing about the endlessness of my collections which include but are not limited to: physical movie collection, pop culture art prints, popcorn buckets, Batmobiles in both Lego and Hot Wheels, I’ve decided to dump all this worthless (but still cool?

There was something oddly confusing going into The Boroughs. Maybe it was just me, but I genuinely thought this was being promoted as the next big series from Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer. While they are Executive Producers here, the real creative credit belongs to creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, who also penned the premiere episode. I only bring this up because they deserve their deserved kudos. And honestly?
